According to Hindustan Times, Sisode’s Advocate Ajay Umapati Dubey said, “The case against my client is politically motivated. He is into the business of buying and reselling of old computers. If he was using the laptop, which was used in the commission of the said offense, unaware of the same, then he is not a criminal. His family believes he is innocent and we will soon move the court for his bail.”

The accused has been booked under sections 419 (cheating by personation) 420 (cheating), 500 (defamation) of the IPC and 66C (identity theft) and 66 D (cheating by personation) of the IT Act.
